Last night I packed my Puffs Plus and we went up to Portland to attend the gala dinner in celebration of Blackfish Gallery’s 30th anniversary. It was total fun and involved lots of art and lots of laughing, plus a few songs by Paul Missal. It was an old fashioned potluck and even had door […]

The Cottage Studio…
I’ve been a sort of blog sloth of late–been in the studio making paintings. Still three months before my show at 12×16 and I’m working hard. Hope I’ll have new work by then that supplants some of these, but thought you might like a peek:
The newly refurbished Sponenburgh Gallery…
at the Hallie Ford Museum opened last night to a loyal crowd. The collection was first donated to the University by Mark and Jan Sponenburgh in 1990. It’s first showing was in the old Ford Gallery in 1991, designed and executed by then art historian Germaine Fuller. The collection and the care of it formed […]
The Studio…
Roger came over this morning and put some nails in the wall so I could hang up the paintings that are beginning to accumulate as I get ready for my show in July at 12×16 Gallery in Portland. All day I popped up this one or that one–entirely satisfactory! Thanks Dear.
These Trees
I haven’t always captured photos of these trees, but I have noticed the tendency people have to plant them against walls. Then the trees begin to grow and kind of groan and wail and dance and carry on. Have you seen them around?? They begin to have personalities sort of. The five on the left […]
And Speaking of Brothers…
My brother Bruce in Seattle is a talented photographer. A month or so ago I tried to pirate one of his images to put in this blog but it was so tiny it didn’t work. He very generously gave me a better-sized image so I could post it for you. His real interest is in […]

100 Artists
Last night was the opening of the annual 100 Artists show at the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery. Every year the gallery sends out something, a box, a piece of cardboard, this year a book–to 100 artists. The artists spend a couple of months making the “item” into art, and all 100 pieces go on view […]
Over at Kay’s Today…
I was over at Kay’s today and she’s been making some tables. the first one uses some levels for legs and yard sticks for edging: Table number 2 has plain legs and a painted top: She’s kind of a cottage industry these days–the whole kitchen is the workshop but there is still one small spot […]
Harry Widman: The Gala
Friday night was the opening of the Harry Widman retrospective, “Harry Widman: Image, Myth, and Modernism,” at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem. The show is wonderful and will be up until March 29, 2009–go take a look. The Hallie Ford Museum is located at 700 State Street in Salem, easy find at […]
